Hurricane Irene got my boat
Got a letter from the marina in upstate NY where I store my Ranger 33 sailboat. Irene got it. It was stored on jackstands and the winds picked it up off the jackstands and blew it over. Put a hole in the hull apparently. Haven't seen pictures yet. They took off the mast and managed to right the boat. Don't know if its repairable yet.

No, it's a keelboat I've owned for quite a while. Haven't had it in the water for a while. We used to live on it in the summertime on Lake Ontario.
Looks like this except ours is red with a wooden toerail and has a hole in it.

Maybe this is a more appropriate image:

That sucks. Did they send the letter via Pony Express?
Hope it works out in your favor. My aunt wasn't terribly disappointed to have a tree flatten her unoccupied cottage during Irene. Full replacement cost didn't look too bad compared to '40's vintage seasonal construction.

That sucks. Happened to my friends Island Piglet and they fixed it.
Its fixable, just costs a lot.

I suppose it's possible things might turn out well. I'm attached to the boat and my daughter is even more attached to it since she spent summers on it when she was very young and impressionable.

Good luck, hopefully they can repair it and keep those memories coming!

Damn sorry to hear that. Ranger 33s are nice boats and quite popular here on SF Bay. I used to own a Ranger 26. Both good Gary Mull designs

Oh man, that's tough, Kerry. Repairable, I hope. IIRC, you're pretty handy with tools.
Hey, it's a project! J/K. Hope it works out for you. |

The biggest boat I had sailed before I got behind the wheel of the Ranger was a 12' Hobie Holder. Fair amount of pucker factor initially until I figured out that apart from docking, sailing a big keelboat is easier than sailing a Holder.

OOhh! (Envy)
Nice Vessel!
I'd sure look at it as: Better being "Holed" Ashore and Dry, than Pierced and Sunk. The wunnerful thang about FRP is it can always be fixed,as long as there's something Left Above the Rudder/Keel and Propeller.

It's insured. I hope it's a little better than the insurance I thought I had on my garage prior to the burglary.
